As much as I prefer sketching outdoors most of the time,
sketching indoors has distinct advantages.
Today at 7:37 a.m., the advantages were many: I could use a
9” x 12” sketchbook (too large and heavy while standing outdoors) for a wider
view unbroken by the page gutter. I could use a large, flat brush (its long
handle discourages portability) to make the wash of sky as well as interesting
brushstrokes to paint the trees. The watercolors dried at a predictable rate.
Not to mention heat blasting through the bedroom vents – a
very distinct advantage when it’s 30 degrees F outside.
Fabulous color in this!!! This came out really well. Yes, painting inside does have some advantages. I wish I had views of the sunrise or sunset. I would paint one every day.
